Talk:Chicken parmesan

Not to be confused with parmo.

Not to be confused with Parmo.

A parmo is English delicacy with a similar but unrelated to a parmesan. G_ary^{Talk to me} 13:59, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

The names aren't similar enough for a hatnote. I removed it. Also, there was no need to start a talk page discussion about it. oknazevad (talk) 14:45, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Parmo is however close to parma which is a common name for it in Australia. Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 15:14, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Chicken parmigiana → Chicken parmesan – Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:USEENGLISH. Base on the Google Ngrams, the most common name for this dish in English is "chicken parmesan". Rreagan007 (talk) 22:58, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

• Wouldn't chicken parmesan only be applicable when parmesan cheese is used? I'm not sure the name would apply when other cheeses are employed. - Bilby (talk) 23:26, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

No, the term "parmesan" can also apply to the style of cooking and this dish specifically even if no parmesan cheese is actually used. I've seen plenty of Italian-American restaurant menus where it is called "chicken parmesan" even though no parmesan cheese was used in the dish. Rreagan007 (talk) 23:53, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

It seems odd. I have almost never seen "chicken parmesan" used, but it might be a regional thing. - Bilby (talk) 23:56, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Well, in addition to the Google Ngrams I cite above, Googling "chicken parmigiana" yields me 2.28 million search results, while "chicken parmesan" yields me 7.97 million search results. Rreagan007 (talk) 00:35, 21 October 2022 (UTC)]

I'm sure it is used - just not a term that is used here much, so I rarely encounter it. - Bilby (talk) 01:02, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

• Support move, as the target appears to be the common name. O.N.R. ^(talk) 00:49, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
• Support move, I've never heard it called "chicken parmigiana", always just "chicken pamesan". And not it's not just when it has parmesan cheese. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 01:05, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
• Comment "parmigiana" is the usual Australian use (the Macquarie Dictionary is behind a paywall but "parmesan" is not given as an adjective, only "parmigiana" (the given example "eggplant parmigiana")). If this page move goes ahead, the sections referring to the dish in Australia should continue to take the current spelling. Bayonet-lightbulb (talk) 14:06, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

• Comment - Beware, the term "chicken parmesan" and "parmesan chicken" can also include other dishes that contain parmesan cheese and chicken, such as this dish that cannot be considered to be a variation of "chicken parmigiana". -- 50.231.49.42 (talk) 01:03, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

  "Chicken parmesan" and "Parmesan chicken" are not equivalent; the word order is important. The former means exclusively the dish that is the topic of this article. oknazevad (talk) 02:14, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

  Would this this "Chicken parmesan" item be considered "chicken parmigiana"? It has chicken and parmesan cheese in a wine and mushroom sauce, but no tomatoes. Or this "Chicken parmesan" item? 108.71.214.235 (talk) 03:28, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

  WP:USERG. Not a meaningful or reliable example. oknazevad (talk) 13:22, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

• Support. More common spelling by a large factor. oknazevad (talk) 02:22, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
